Statistical analysis of the deployment potential of Smart Grids solutions to enhance the hosting capacity of LV networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several smart grids solutions to enhance the hosting capacity of LV networks have been proposed, investigated and successfully demonstrated. However, the real deployment potential remains unknown, which is a barrier to a systematic use of them by distribution network operators. This paper presents the results of the work done in the project IGREENGrid on the quantification of the potential of smart grids solutions in LV networks on the basis of a comprehensive statistical analysis of real datasets from two network operators. This work shows a moderate potential for reactive power-based voltage control and a significant potential for voltage regulated distribution transformer in the considered areas.

متن کاملA MILP Model for Coordinated Charging of Electric Vehicles in Smart Unbalanced LV Distribution Networks Using Floating Charge Method
In this paper, a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model is proposed to solve the charging problem of electric vehicles (EVs) using floating charge method meaning that the EV, could be supplied by each of the three phases connected to a special bus. In other words, unlike a usual household load which is only supplied by a particular phase, in the floating charge method it is assumed that ...

In this paper, a self-healing approach for smart distribution network is presented based on Graph theory and cut sets. In the proposed Graph theory based approach, the upstream grid and all the existing microgrids are modeled as a common node after fault occurrence. Thereafter, the maneuvering lines which are in the cut sets are selected as the recovery path for alternatives networks by making ...
